Something Hidden

The Life of Wilder Penfield

Author Jefferson Lewis was at Brome Lake Books on Saturday October 11, 2025 at 5 p.m., talking about the biography he wrote about his grandfather, titled: SOMETHING HIDDEN - The Life of Wilder Penfield.

With access to diaries and private family papers, Penfield's grandson, Jefferson Lewis, has written a frank, courageous account of a fascinating and complex man.

Wilder Penfield was a pioneering neurosurgeon and neurologist who not only revolutionized the treatment for epilepsy but in the process mapped out the human brain for the first time. Much of what we know today about the brain is based on Penfield's work.
